From the first seconds of music, we are invited into a temple of sound swinging with a spontaneous motion. This conversation is reinforced with the gift of light, sometimes manifesting as a series of sounds and silences. Musicians are playing what is most inspirational at that particular moment. William Parker

How dare we spend so much valuable energy answering such questions as "What is Jazz?".

JUST LISTEN!
